Greetings,
I just got a Abrams stowage set that includes a paper pattern to make boxes of mre’s and other items. Anyone have experience with these. I would appreciate suggestions or hints on how to put these together especially glues that work the best.
Thanks,
Chuck B.
Use thick white craft glue. They fold up just like PE parts, basically. I jam them between two bok spines to let the glue set.
I prefer to make blocks from basswood strips and wrap the prints around them with plain ol’ Elmer’s…
I do like Doog does, just fold them up and glue them. I use Elmers white glue though. I then set a bottle of paint on top of them to hold them in place until the glue dries. Here is a set I made for Armorama with directions how to make them. The MRE boxes use the same method.
Mine always end up skwooshed-lookin’, hence the basswood… That way I can build a couple dozen boxes and throw 'em in parts bin to get used whenever I need some…
